"Bomb built using plans on Internet"

from "The Age", Melbourne, 6 Dec 1995

A 17 year-old youth who exploded a bomb outside a supermarket in June
this year had built the device using instructions from the computer
Internet. the Box Hill Magistrates Court was told yesterday.

Scott Micklewright, of Ferguson Court, Ferntree Gully, obtained
detailed instructions on the Internet for several hundred types of
explosive devices, the court was told. [.....deletia....]

Mr Steven Anger, for Mr Micklewright, said his client's device was one
of the least potent of the several hundred for which instructions were
available on the Internet "for all to see".

The magistrate, Ms Jill Crowe, said it was incredible such material
was available on the Internet. She said governement committees
concerned about pornography on the Internet would certainly be worried
about the dissemination of information on how to build bombs.




DSM comments:

I don't suppose these "government committees" could bother looking to
the issue of teaching people their responsibilities to society instead
could they?
